Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1, ESV) There’s Nothing New Here Under The Sun This Apprising Ministries piece comes about because of a post today from Cambourne Christian Fellowship called (One of) The Poisonous […]

Apprising Ministries brought to your attention a while back that  Shane Hipps is the new co-teaching pastor now along with his good friend, and Emerging Church (EC) icon Rob Bell, at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. as I pointed out in Silence Shane Hipps, both having a Masters Degree from Fuller Theological Cesspool, which vomited forth the semi-pelagian (at best) Church Growth […]

Over at his website Emerging Church leader Brian McLaren shares Song to brighten your day and lift your heart … If you’re a regular reader of Apprising Ministries you’ll know that the first time I heard this childish ode to the mystic mush god with a man-shaped hole in its heart—filled with pet Emergent Church straw […]

Jim Trageser of North Country Times begins his February 5, 2010 piece Popular author McLaren to address local Episcopal conference by asking “What is an evangelical leader doing talking to a bunch of Episcopalians at a Methodist church?” Well, only in the postmodern world of Humpty Dumpty language could Brian McLaren even remotely be considered “an evangelical leader.” But […]

Earlier today Apprising Ministries told you that Brian McLaren responded to Scot McKnight’s review of his book. McLaren, an influential leader in the Emergent Church (EC), is busy making the rounds promoting his latest book  A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC) where he may have made a tactical error in clearly laying out his updated version of old liberalism, which is really […]

Apprising Ministries showed you yesterday in Brian McLaren Has Moved Away From “Ancient-Future” Faith yet another former supporter of  Emerging Church (EC) leader Brian McLaren recognizing that in his latest book A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC) McLaren’s clearly layed out his updated version of old liberalism, i.e. a new form of Progressive Christianity. Of this Liberalism 2.0 EC […]

Apprising Ministries has told you about Purpose Driven/Seeker Driven Popes Of TheCarolinas like Perry Noble and his disciple Steven Furtick, who are the next generation fruit of Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren. As a matter of fact Noble has really come of age now after being a featured speaker for his mentor Rick Warren at his […]

The incredible lack of spiritual maturity in the current visible church has resulted in a corresponding lack of spiritual depth, i.e. biblical ignorance. Couple this with post-modern relativistic nonsense and we have the perfect environment for the growth and acceptance of what is biblically unChristian being accepted and declared Christian to the point that men […]

While I am in no way in agreement with Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren, I’m concerned that his latest tweet below may show signs of stress over-coming him: Jesus never wore socks so I don’t either. It has saved me thousands of dollars over my lifetime. (Online source) Perhaps it’s time someone at Saddleback Church […]

You may be aware that the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries extends from CRBC, the local church where I am pastor. It is aligned (for now) with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). This is one of the reasons I have watched with sadness the drift of SBC megapastor Ed Young, Jr; who happens to […]
